Stunning design and super quality. These were probably pilaster hangings. I can sell these seperately. They would look good as small chair coverings. The ground appears to be gold and would have glinted in the low light.
Two panels each with a huge elaborate intricate guilloche designed vase from which huge strapwork type stems decorated with small cresents and leaves emerge, narrow side borders fo repeated diagonal leaves, all in crimson ciselé velvet on a yellow tabby silk weave ground, backed with handstitched linen.
